“We are very glad to open Estonia’s first honorary consulate in Nepal,” said Undersecretary Reinart. “Since Nepal is a popular destination among Estonians for adventure tourism and mountain climbing, it is useful to know that it is possible to receive assistance from the Estonian honorary consul in Kathmandu,” he added.
